Introduction: Diode
Rectifier circuit
• Half-wave rectifier
• Full-wave rectifier
• Bridge rectifier
Rectifier
It is the simplest type of rectifier, which is made with just one diode.
•When the voltage of the alternating current is positive, the diode becomes
forward-biased and current flows through it.
•When the voltage is negative, the diode is reverse-biased and the current stops.
Full wave rectifier
This rectifier is essentially made of two half-wave rectifiers, and can
be made with two diodes.
1. When the voltage of the alternating current is positive, one of the diodes
become forward biased whereas the other gets reverse biased. Hence, current
biased diode becomes forward biased whereas the other gets reverse biased.
